100 Cordobas Cordoba

The Canadian Bank Note Company has printed Nicaraguan currency through multiple political transitions — from the Somoza era through the Sandinista revolution and beyond — making Ottawa's involvement in Managua's note production one of the more durable printing relationships in Central American monetary history. This 2012 issue came well into a period of relative macroeconomic stability, after the hyperinflationary collapse of the córdoba in the late 1980s had forced the introduction of the córdoba oro in 1990 at a rate of 1 to 5,000,000 old córdobas.

Antenor Rosales Bolaños served as president of the Banco Central during this period under the Ortega administration.
